If I can help in anyway further, please don't hesitate to ask!

Crankcase tube to Alta intake hose question/problem
I just got the Alta 2.0 CAI and began installing it this morning. Everything looked great until I went to install the intake hose. The small spigot for the crankcase hose would not properly align with the crankcase hose itself. The problem was that the spigot opening was angled at almost a complete right angle to the crankcase hose. In other words, the crankcase hose came in from the left essentially parallel with the intercooler, but the spigot on the intake hose extended out not to the left to meet the crankcase hose, but more toward the direction of the air box. So the crankcase hose and the spigot are sitting at almost 90 degree angles to one another making it impossible to connect them. Has anyone else had this problem or know a solution? I have a 03 MCS.

Thanks.

Any good quality grease will be fine, just make sure to clean off all the old grease off before putting the new stuff on, thanks!

I bought a Intercooler deverter from you guys a couple months ago, when it was still cold and they were on sale.
I just got around to installing it. In the box were two of the same size silicone couplers (small).
Their is no way the small one is going to fit the larger side.
Did I get two small by mistake?
Thanks

It isn't difficult at all.

Good luck!
